If you go with Footflaps idea (and why not) mind you thumbs or you will not get the desired effect but half flattened nads and sore thumbsI had to convince them it was a good idea as i looked young back then and 3rd daughter on route!even the cats are female ... i look a lot older now

I wouldn't do it. I nearly backed out of mine, despite having 2 kids. The guy says to me: "are you sure about this", and I'm "yeah, of course, the wife and I have discussed it and-"

"Wait a minute" he says. "Your wife? What does your wife have to do with it?"

"How do you mean?", I said.

"Well", he says, "she might not always be here, despite what you think. What if, for example, 2 years from now she dies, and you meet someone else younger. How would that person and you feel about your inability to have a child?"

It really sat me back, and meant I had to go and think about it for half an hour. In the end I went through with it. But with no kids- why?

yeah had it done about age 35, no questions from the doc, referred me to the local NHS hospital and all was straightforward. the wife and I always knew we didn't want kids so it wasn't a tough decision, certainly easier than my wife going through the whole sterilization procedure.

we've no kids and have no plans to have any. It's a bit late for us anyway. Mrs DD not keen on me having the snip, although I'm happy to. I've left it up to her...
I understand the OP's thinking 100% regarding kids.

same boat houns, as im sure we discussed before, always knew i didnt want kids (now stuck with two steps (19/20) after getting married a couple of years back i decided to take the plunge and was generally made aware that the GP might be a little cautious, but that with the wifes backing, it wouldnt be a NO, I was the same age you are now.

eventual stumbling block was the wife - no idea why, but shes dead against it? bought shares in durex instead which is my pension plan.

It'll not be an issue they'll ask you are you sure they do anyway, because they should after all it's a procedure and they do get people coming back for a reversal, then they'll let you choose and book a date.
